I've always liked Newport but was not aware of greens being replaced when I booked on Golfnow. Five or six bucks and a warning that you're playing barnyard golf would have been appropriate.

I haven't played a better groomed course anywhere near Houston. Wish they had chicken salad for a sandwich my wife wanted and the burger we had instead was incredibly salty! Entire staff was very helpful otherwise and will give the grill a try again next visit. The course is interesting in its contours, layout, and variety of hole lengths.

Recovered from the flood and just plain hard to beat this club.

Greens well maintained though a bit slow. Good value.

Greens being the true test of a course, this course passes with praise. While one or two greens had small rough areas the rest where superb with good speed and interesting contours. The tide had adversely affected a couple fairways but the maintenance crew had the whole course well manicured. Small clubhouse and restrooms without AC but the weather was perfect so didn't make a difference.

Little things like the cart barn being so close and convenient as well as the parking make this course layout hard to beat. The greens were a little shakey but a good bit better than a couple of "top ten in the state" municipal courses I played the same two week period. I was surprised how good shape the course was in with so much rain the week before.
